State of Issue

The State of Issue feature enables you to search for the following characteristics on a state:

• Maximum Number of Dependents

• Maximum Age Limit for Maximum Dependent Count

• Maximum Number of Dependents Order Priority

• Age Calculation Date Basis

• Newborn Gift Days

• Newborn Gift Days Applicability

• Young Adult Max Age Limit

• Young Adult Inclusion Applicability

It helps in identifying a list of eligible children in a membership. To enable the State of Issue feature, you need to do the following:

1. Define a predefined characteristic type named State of Issue where the characteristic entity is set to Membership, Policy Plan and Policy.

2. Define the required states as the predefined values for the State of Issue characteristic type.

3. Set the State of Issue characteristic type in the State of Issue Characteristic Type option type of the C1-ASOBLLNG feature configuration.

If the State of Issue feature is enabled, the system checks whether the State of Issue characteristic is defined for the membership when any of the above required characteristic is not defined at the membership person and membership levels. If the State of Issue characteristic is defined for the membership, the system checks whether the above required characteristic is defined on the state where the membership is issued. For example, if the State of Issue characteristic on the M1 membership is set to California, then the system will search for any of the above required characteristic on the California state. If the required characteristic is defined for the state, the system considers it while identifying a list of eligible children in the membership.

If the required characteristic is not defined at the membership person, membership, state where the membership is issued and policy plan levels, the system checks whether the State of Issue characteristic is defined for the policy plan. If the State of Issue characteristic is defined for the policy plan, the system checks whether the above required characteristic is defined on the state where the policy plan is issued. If the required characteristic is defined for the state, the system considers it while identifying a list of eligible children in the membership.

However, if the required characteristic is not defined at the membership person, membership, state where membership is issued, policy plan, state where the policy plan is issued, and policy levels, the system checks whether the State of Issue characteristic is defined for the policy. If the State of Issue characteristic is defined for the policy, the system checks whether the above required characteristic is defined on the state where the policy is issued. If the required characteristic is defined for the state, the system considers it while identifying a list of eligible children in the membership.
